D’banj Names His Top 3 Nigerian Artists, Excludes Wizkid
In a recent appearance on the Adesope Live podcast, Nigerian music icon D’banj stirred conversation by naming his top three current Nigerian artists, notably omitting Wizkid from the list. The Kokomaster, known for his influential role in shaping the Afrobeats genre, selected Rema, Davido, and Burna Boy as his frontrunners in the industry.
D’Banj praised Rema for his energy, Davido for his humility and consistency, and Burna Boy for his intentionality and stellar live performances.
The exclusion of Wizkid from D’banj’s list has sparked discussions among fans and industry observers. While Wizkid remains a pivotal figure in the genre, his absence from this particular ranking raises questions about the criteria used to determine the top artists.
D’banj’s selections may be influenced by various factors, including recent musical outputs, collaborations, and personal preferences. It’s important to note that rankings in the music industry are subjective and can vary based on individual perspectives and criteria.
This development adds to the ongoing discourse about the current state and future direction of Afrobeats, as artists continue to rise and redefine the genre’s boundaries.
Recall that earlier this month, Rema heaped praises on D’banj at his O2 Arena concert, crediting him for contributing to the rise of Afrobeats to global prominence, especially in the United Kingdom (UK).
Rema identified D’banj as one of the first people to take the Afrobeat sound to the United Kingdom, saying he paved the way for his generation of artists.
